ARC 3: YOUNG MASTER'S EX-GIRLFRIEND (8)

The rain was getting heavier and the darkening clouds seemed to envelop the whole world.

The buildings in the distance were indistinguishable.

Linlang called a taxi from the roadside and opened the door.

"Sir, can I trouble you to..."

Bang!Please read this at onemachineshow.blogspot.com

Suddenly, the door was slammed shut.

The blowing wind whisked her umbrella away.

Linlang nearly staggered to the ground, but in the next moment, someone hugged her from behind.

Rain soaked through their cold clothes.

She could feel a thundering heartbeat under the unbearable heat of his body.

"You shouldn't have come." She lowered her eyes.

Blue veins appeared on the arms circling her waist, but he was afraid of hurting her, so he stiffly loosened his hold.

"I know." He answered softly.

Knowing doesn't mean accomplishing.

He overestimated his endurance.

Xue Shao lowered his head and buried his face in the crook of her neck.

Warm tears ran down her chest.

"If I am no longer the young master of the Xue family, if I can't give you an enviable life...

"If I have nothing...

"Would you...would you still want me?"

Would you still want a useless me?

Linlang turned around.

An icy palm covered her eyes in an instant.

"Don't look," the boy said hoarsely, " I look bad right now."

Somehow, it seems that after meeting her, he cries a lot. The former arrogant young master felt like a stranger to him.

He was really...inferior.

After a moment of silence, Linlang gently moved his hand away.

He lowered his head and let his hair cover his eyes so she couldn't see his expression.

White fingers tenderly moved his bangs away.

The youth's delicate face had turned paler under the rain, and even the ruddy lips had lost their color. Drops of water hung on those slender and thick eyelashes which shook gently before rolling down her palm.

Fragile, restless, and fearful.

His red eyes looked at her, and while he tried to raise his mouth in a smile, he found it futile.

"Am I loathsome?"

"Why do you say that?" She raised her head. Her porcelain-white face was ever more beautiful in the rain.

"I can't do anything. I have a foul temper and a vile personality. I don't have any good point right now," He said mockingly. "But still, I'm still a toad that wants to eat swan meat. I don't have self-knowledge.”

Linlang chuckled, “I have never seen such a cute toad.”

What to do? This young master’s self-esteem has been repeatedly beaten down by her.

The current him was very frail and humble.

He wanted to get close to her but was afraid of being shunned.

What a poor little one.Please read this at onemachineshow.blogspot.com

"So, do you want to leave with me?"

Her hand stroked his cheek, which was cold but a bit endearing.

"Okay."

Who told me to only have you left.

The boy's misty eyes reflected her image.

Those eyes were like lacquer and the lips like pomegranates.

The light smile was like a bright moonlight.

This was his sweetheart.

His first love at the age of eighteen.

Just the thought made his heart ache.

He admits defeat. He really does.

The young master slowly covered the back of her hand and closed his eyes.

The sky swallowed the last glimmer of light on the horizon, and the young master's silhouette gradually turned dark.

So be it. Take me away.

I'll hand over this silly boy to you.

Please be sure to treat him well.

He may be a little clumsy because many things have to be learned anew. So, can you give him more time?

He has never been a smart kid and he doesn't know how to please people. Sometimes he doesn't acknowledge his mistakes and hurts people with his callous words, but it's not because he doesn't like you.

He just doesn't know how to convey his feelings for you.

The more you like someone, the more childish you act to gain their attention.

The harder you try, the more you flounder.

So, sorry, please wait for him.

One day he will grow up. He will become calm, sensible, and mature. He will know how to like someone and how to keep her in his heart, kiss her lips, and hold her in his hands.

As for right now, let me be immature.

I promise that I will truly grow up for you.

I'll protect you from the wind and rain.

———

Since that day, the young master never returned to the Xue's house.

In his spare time, he took up part-time jobs—washing dishes, delivering food—and worked very hard to cover their living expenses. He gave up his dignity to do things like currying favor with the florist aunt downstairs.

He can bear to eat the cheapest boxed lunch, but he can't wrong Linlang.

His friends thought he was crazy.

For a woman, he even abandoned the identity of a chaebol heir!

He also performed the unskilled labor he used to disdain before!

"A Shao, go back. Uncle and Aunt are waiting for you."

Hua Shao's mouth twitched. He could believe that the guy in front of him carrying large plastic bags was really Xue Shao.

The two of them grew up wearing the same pants¹. He was most clear about this little overlord's unscrupulous behavior. If anyone dared to anger him a little bit, he was sure to make them weep bitter tears and ask for their mother.

But now?

He was willing to fall into the dust for one person.

Hua Shao was very frightened. He felt that A Shao must be possessed!

Does he need to find a great master to exorcise him?

"Don't say this if you're a friend."

Xue Shao's eyes were calm and his thoughts were very clear. "Although I am no longer an heir, my parents will always be my parents. I can still be filial to them. But for Linlang and me, if I give up...if I pull back, we'll never stand a chance."

"As long as I think of separating from her, I feel so sad I can't breathe."

Young Master Hua looked terrified. Was this was the Xue Shao he knew?

He's getting goosebumps from listening to him!

"I can tell at a glance that you've never really fallen in like. You know shit."

The young master gave him a side-eye and openly looked down on him.

Hua Shao: "..."

For the first time in his life, this IQ-deficient buddy of his rendered him speechless.

But...

He was feeling envious.

He watched the black-haired girl jump on Xue Shao's back with a smile. Her eyes seemed like the broken surface of a spring pool, and the beauty was breathtaking.

He had to admit that Linlang was a fatal attraction.

She had the cunning charm of a fox and was a beauty that made people wish to conquer.

But he also understood that she was poisonous and untouchable.Please read this at onemachineshow.blogspot.com

Just look at how hard Xue Shao—this little overlord—fell for her.

"Ah, I've finally found my wayward son! Quick, give Big Sister a kiss!"

Xue Shao's ears felt a little hot. "Someone's here," he whispered.

This person who got frisky regardless of the situation made him feel embarrassed.

"Someone? Who?"

Linlang didn't recognize Hua Shao who was wearing a baseball cap and thought he was just a passerby.

What's to be done if her little guy gets shy too easily?

She took down a bag of chips from the shelf and used it to cover their faces before planting a kiss on him. She mischievously didn't wipe off the obvious lip mark.

"Okay, today's reward has been given. Big Sister is hungry so hurry up and get home to cook for me!"

Linlang interlaced their fingers and pulled him away.

Xue Shao could only turn his head and cast a meaningful look at Hua Shao to hint that they'll talk some other time.

Hua Shao took off his black hat and waved it at him. He stared at their figures until they left the sales counter before heading back.

His mind kept turning over the fact that the dignified young master had become a family cook. It was too much.

For some reason, Hua Shao felt an urge to smoke a cigarette, but after fumbling in his pocket for a while, he came up empty.

Then, he remembered why.

Ever since that bully fell in love, he didn't dare to touch alcohol or tobacco. Whenever he brought Linlang to a party, he would always clear the venue in advance. His buddies were miserable.

As time passed, Hua Shao didn't bother to bring any cigarettes. Anyway, it wasn't like he was going to smoke them. They just took up space.

He quit his addiction without knowing it.

That person was formidable.

Sighing, he called the family chauffeur to drive him straight home. This was the first time he didn't stay out all night.

Just when he landed, he made a private call.

The voice on the other end was a little flustered. "Hua Shao, do you know how to kill fish? Bastard, stop jumping around. Believe it or not, Laoye will smack you to death! Oh shit, oh shit! My clothes! Ahhhh! Laoye's gonna kill you!"

The sharp voice pierced his eardrum.

Hua Shao rubbed his ruined ear. "You're a young master. Your fingers never even touched spring water. Why are you handling fish? I'm telling you, be careful not to chop off your whole hand!"

"Who told my wife to love it!"

He sounded particularly aggrieved when he said, "She said she'll wring my ears if I don't do it. So fierce."

"..."

Damn. He was just fed a bowl of dog food for no reason!

Hua Shao was still trying to reign the anger in his heart as he asked the housekeeper for advice.

He turned out to be a better cook than that little bastard. He could chop the fish neatly whereas that guy actually cut his fingers!

Hua Shao was really convinced!

But when they talked over the phone at night, he was as greasy as a drunk, going on about how his girl cherished him and waxing all sorts of praises that made Hua Shao roll his eyes. He was itching to roast the guy.

"I say, Xue Shao, have you been enslaved?"

The other person was silent for a while before immediately breaking out.

"Huh? What cosmic joke is that? How can Laozu be the enslaved one! You had better get this straight. She listens to me! She does everything I say!"

"Oh, really?"

Hua Shao raised his eyebrows. His tone was very skeptical.

"Of course. When have I lied to you?" The young master spoke arrogantly, "I tell you, every time I come home, she greets me at the door, brings me slippers, hangs my coat..."

"Little Xue, come pick up the remote!"

"Okay~, Your Majesty."

Hua Shao: "..."

Young Master, where is your integrity?

I didn't expect you to be such a tarty bitch!

When you go out, please pretend not to know me, thank you very much!

Lol is Linlang trying to make it up to Junwan by keeping things wholesome? It must have cost her a fortune to give the Arc 2 male lead a rebirth
